Luis Enrique's decision about a second contract extension with Barcelona is becoming a matter of true relevance for Los Blaugranas, as reports from Catalan-based newspapers have mixed claims about what's next for the former Celta Vigo skipper.
The former midfielder agreed to sign a contract extension that concludes with the 2016-2017 season, following an impressive debut season with Los Culés, where they achieved their second treble in history. However, tension between the tactician and the team's board could see Martínez walk away without looking back.
Back in December, Luis Enrique fueled speculation during an exclusive interview issued by Barca TV.
"There is an element of this job that is very hard, it costs me a lot and it's a negative that I have to factor in when considering the next few seasons,"the coach said in the interview aired on December 25th.
In fact, Catalan-based newspaper Sport has reported that Ronald Koeman has been contacted by Barcelona's execs to start negotiations of Luis Enrique decides to call it quits.
Whether Luis Enrique chooses to leave or not, the fate of one of the biggest clubs in the world will be decided in the next few months. Will the Asturias-born manager follow Pep Guardiola's lead and force Los Blaugranas to execute Plan B? Only time and the team's chances of winning more silverware will determine his future.
